Armed men clash with rioters in Oklahoma draft dispute
In southeastern Oklahoma a large clash occurred six miles south of Konawa as Deputy Cross was wounded and Wallace Cargill died in an anti draft confrontation. A broad roundup followed with over eighty rioters arrested on treason charges across six county seats. Police say Working Class union Industrial Workers of the World and the Jones family are involved. Bands of posses formed to capture a draft resistance group near Lone Deve and Sasakwa while a Jolson ranch siege drew attention. Whisky withdrawals from bonds near 28 million gallons signal fear of government seizures.
